One week away from the 'big day' and some of us are sorted, some are nearly there and there will be some who haven't started yet! Where are you? But what message should we be sending?
Christmas Minus One
T’was the week before Christmas and behind each door,
chaos reigns on available shelves and in cupboards,
in fact occupies the entire floor.
All money is spent and a little bit more,
the bills in the letter box tinged with scarlet,
the question in mind, is this a final score?
Does little tommy need a bigger drawer,
or katy and billy and jenny and pete,
loaded till they can’t carry anymore.
Bright wrapping stretched, a painful chore,
decorations brightly winking and blinking,
is this what the annual binge is for?
You have done your best as in years before,
you’ll have thrilled and pleased one and all,
so confidently sit back and observe the love outpour.
